The most recognizable member of the species is the character known as [[Toad]], who is typically depicted as Peach's loyal servant; regardless, Toad has also adventured directly alongside Mario on several adventures since his debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The character continues to appear as a playable representative for the species in various spin-offs in addition to his own starring roles in 1994's ''[[Wario's Woods]]'' and 1995's ''[[Kinopio Live]]''. Other Toads such as [[Toadette]], [[Toadsworth]], and the [[Toad Brigade]] organization also make prominent appearances throughout the series.
